Clinical Trial Summary

Rotavirus is the leading cause of diarrhea in children worldwide. Oral rotavirus vaccines work remarkably well in high-income countries, but for unclear reasons they underperform in low-income countries. A double-blind, randomized control trial will be performed to evaluate whether using a higher dose of a currently licensed vaccine (Rotarix, GlaxoSmithKline) can improve immune responses among infants in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a standard or a double dose of Rotarix at 6 and 10 weeks of life. Infants will be assessed for fecal vaccine shedding and serum rotavirus-specific IgA responses to determine vaccine immunogenicity.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number (or Percentage) of Infants in Each Study Arm Who Test Positive for Fecal Rotavirus Vaccine-strain Virus Shedding Post-vaccination This will be an aggregate measure demonstrating a change from baseline. Infants will have stool collected immediately prior to Rotarix vaccination at weeks 6 and 10 of life, then 4, 7, and 14 days following each dose (i.e. last assessment at week 12 of life). Each specimen will be assessed for vaccine-strain virus (i.e. fecal vaccine shedding) at each time point by polymerase chain reaction. Any child who has a change in fecal vaccine shedding status, from negative at baseline (6 weeks) to positive at any subsequent time point, will be categorized as having met the outcome measure for positive fecal vaccine shedding. Measured through week 12 of life
Primary Number (or Percentage) of Infants in Each Study Arm With Rotavirus-specific Plasma Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Seroconversion Post-vaccination This outcome will measure seroconversion, i.e. the change in plasma rotavirus-specific IgA concentration at week 14 of life compared to week 6 of life (baseline). Blood will be collected from infants prior to the first dose of Rotarix at week 6 of life and again at week 14 of life (4 weeks following the second dose) for measurement of plasma rotavirus-specific IgA by enzyme immunoassay. Infants will be assessed for seroconversion (IgA concentration <=20 U/mL pre-vaccination and >20 post-vaccination). Infants who demonstrate rotavirus-specific IgA seroconversion will be categorized as having met the outcome measure. Measured at week 14 of life
Primary Number (or Percentage) of Infants in Each Study Arm With Successful Vaccine Take, Defined as Positive Fecal Vaccine Shedding Post-vaccination OR Rotavirus-specific Plasma IgA Seroconversion Post-vaccination Vaccine take is an aggregate, dichotomous immunogenicity measure (successful vaccine take vs no vaccine take). Infants positive for either fecal vaccine shedding OR plasma rotavirus-specific IgA seroconversion (as described in Outcomes 1 and 2, respectively) will be categorized as having met the outcome measure of successful vaccine take. Those who met neither outcome will be categorized as no vaccine take. Measured at week 14 of life
